Benefits of technology

The patent text discusses the use of metallic materials, such as stainless steel, aluminum, or titanium, for the manufacturing of applicators. These metallic materials have advantages such as being lightweight, which allows for stronger acceleration and larger travel at a given geometry of the applicator. Additionally, titanium has good physical properties and is tolerant to high velocities and projectile masses, making it an ideal material for use as an applicator.

Problems solved by technology

In the document cited however, it is emphasized that the macroscopic movement of the applicator's center, which cannot be prevented as such physically, shall be kept rather small because it is considered as disadvantageous.

Embodiment Construction

[0031]FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of the invention. It is an apparatus for coupling strokes and unfocused (so-called radial) mechanical shockwaves into the human or animal body.

[0032]A tube piece 1 forms a housing, namely together with an air inlet cap 2 pointing away from the body in the application and being integrated with the tube piece 1 and an applicator cap 3 pointing towards the body in the application. The air inlet cap 2 comprises a compressed air supply 4 for a pneumatic supply. In a manner known as such, a valve controlled by a control unit, in particular a magnetic valve, is connected to this compressed air supply 4 via a pneumatic supply line, the valve coupling compressed air pulses in a constant repetitive cycle between for instance 1 Hz and 50 Hz via the compressed air supply. The valve is not shown and can also be integrated into the shown apparatus itself.

[0033]Further, the apparatus is an apparatus to be held by hand by an operating personnel, being connected...

Abstract

The invention relates to an apparatus for treating a human or animal body by mechanical strokes, wherein an applicator for being placed on the patient's body surface has a basically oblique front area portion in an angle between 30° and 60° to the stroke direction.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]Not Applicable.FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT[0002]Not Applicable.MICROFICHE / COPYRIGHT REFERENCE[0003]Not Applicable.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0004]The present invention relates to an apparatus for treating the human or animal body by applying strokes to the body surface. Below, for a simplification, reference is made to the body of a patient which is preferably human,BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0005]In the prior art, different apparatuses of the basic type described are known. DE 197 25 477 C relates to such an apparatus for instance, wherein a shockwave is initiated by a collision of a pneumatically accelerated striking member or projectile with an impact body or applicator resting initially, wherein the shockwave can be coupled into the body of the patient when a front area of the applicator is placed on the patient's body at the time of the collision. As regards the history of its development, this type of apparatus results ...
